The proposed EU move comes after US President Donald Trump also imposed 50% tariffs to keep out cheap metal imports from China [as the EU fears that Chinese supplies are now redirected from the US to the EU].

...

The scheme is meant to permanently replace the safeguard clause that is currently in place, in which 25% duties are imposed when set import quotas are exceeded. That clause expires next year.

Last year, China produced more than a billion metric tons (1.1 billion US tons) of steel, far surpassing its next rival India, which managed 149 million metric tons.

Japan came in third with 84 million metric tons, followed by the US with some 79 million tons.

Germany produced some 37 million tons, while French production was less than 11 million tons, with the EU as a whole accounting for 129.5 million tons.

The steel sector employs around 300,000 people in Europe.

However, nearly 100,000 jobs have been lost in the past 15 years, the industry says.

The Sunda Scops Owl, also known as Collared Scops Owl, is a native and widespread small owl species found in Singapore's forests and gardens, including the Singapore Botanic Gardens, Pasir Ris Park and Central Catchment Nature Reserve. Known for its characteristic call, this well-camouflaged, small (23cm) owl is often difficult to spot. As a resident of Singapore, they have also been observed in areas like Sentosa and Jurong Lake Gardens. So, when the news that it appeared at Singapore Botanical Gardens, I rushed there within 30 minutes.

It took more than 10 minutes to locate the dozen or so early comers. However, the owl(s) were sleeping or looking the wrong way for the photographers. I found a small window and waited for the owl open its eyes. The wait was not long. After twenty minutes or so, it woke up and turned around. At the moment when it stared at me, silent and continuous burst of shutter release was activated. The settings were: ISO 1600, F 2.8, and shutter speed of 1/25sec.

I left the car park paying less than a dollar.

Aggie is napping as we all should be.

The agency cut nearly everyone who works to administer federal funding for the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, one staffer said.

The U.S. Department of Education fired nearly everyone in the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services in a wave of new layoffs that began Friday, according to the union representing the agency's employees.

Without an official estimate from the agency, it wasn't immediately clear how many people in the division were fired. Yet based on reports from staff and their managers, most employees below the leadership level were part of the workforce reduction, said Rachel Gittleman, the president of the American Federation of Government Employees Local 252.
